Hey ya'll. I'm probably going to go surfing again this Sunday, being that it's my latest resurgent hobby, and boy is it an awesome one. If anybody wants to come with me, renting a surfboard and wetsuit will probably run you about $20 each for the whole day, depending on how early we get started, and whether you want the super-beginner “Floaty” longboard, or the wild and dangerous fiberglass shortboard. We can also share boards, because upper-body stamina dictates that I can only paddle my way through waves for a few hours, and I'm still a little sunburnt from last time.
Right now I'm house-sitting for my parents in the Berkeley hills, which is ideal if any of you East Bay people want to carpool with me. I would like to go back down to Santa Cruz, since it's the warmest, but if I have to drive, then I'll probably want to go somewhere North of Berkeley, like Stinson Beach, just so I don't have to double back when I drive home to Mountain View.
If you've never tried surfing before, then I highly recommend it. Riding waves is much more exhilarating than it might sound. It's not just for bleach-blond airheads like me, and the gang-like activity that happens in the water when there are turf disputes and people attack each other with box-cutters is pretty exciting. Just kidding.
